Waddy Itchy Monkey

Now I don't mean this in the sense of power or whatever but that there's a "Heavy Hitter" for each "Support" that matches their emotional maturity, I'll explain.

Luffy pairs with Chopper

They're both so young when they gain their power, they are able to find childlike wonder and joy in this world, to smile and love the world but also have boundless idealism.

Sanji pairs with Usopp

Both have faced some tremendous lows, knowing that they have a disconnect from the idealism of Chopper and Luffy but they can still find the joy in some aspects. It's like laughing and loving with people after losing someone, there's a lot of positives but there's a tinge of suffering. The two of them have had to prove themselves, to carve out themselves with an ideal around one of their parents and the loss of another that they fear they will either never measure up to or become exactly like, whichever is worse.

Zoro pairs with Nami

These two have faced something unbelievable, there's a person sized hole in them that they'll never fill and they'll push every day to try. They disconnect easily because it's the easiest way, and it'll take a lot for them to lock in to protect people outside of the crew, but when they do the world will burn around them. See Nami in Alabasta and Zoro in Wano.

Franky pairs with Robin

Two people who are older than their years and have seen the worst the world government can throw at them. They've each hurt this new family they've come to love but they seem to accept a role of parents now, relying on each other to find the positives in this world and pushing back the darkness, like they did supporting each other while hostages at Enies Lobby.

Jimbe pairs with Brook

My Neighbor Jinbei (2024)

I only drew this for funsies. It wasnt until i was finishing the shadows on Jinbei that I realised it could've been Ace carrying Luffy 🙃
